The text has been thoroughly revised and updated, with each chapter authored by a recognized expert in the field. Three chapters - Ground Segment, Product Assurance and Spacecraft System Engineering - have been rewritten, and the topic of Assembly, Integration and Verification has been introduced as a new chapter, filling a gap in previous editions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition addresses 'front-end system-level issues' such as environment, mission analysis and system engineering, but also progresses to a detailed examination of subsystem elements which represents the core of spacecraft design. This includes mechanical, electrical and thermal aspects, as well as propulsion and control. This quantitative treatment is supplemented by an emphasis on the interactions between elements, which deeply influences the process of spacecraft design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdopted on courses worldwide, \u003ci\u003eSpacecraft Systems Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is already widely respected by students, researchers and practising engineers in the space engineering sector. It provides a valuable resource for practitioners in a wide spectrum of disciplines, including system and subsystem engineers, spacecraft equipment designers, spacecraft operators, space scientists and those involved in related sectors such as space insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn summary, this is an outstanding resource for aerospace engineering students, and all those involved in the technical aspects of design and engineering in the space sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Graham Swinerd\u003c\/b\u003e is a Reader in Astronautics within the School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton where he teaches courses in aerospace design, spacecraft systems design and astronautics. Prior to joining Southampton in 1987 he was employed by British Aerospace Space Systems, Stevenage. His research interests include orbit dynamics, space mission analysis, spacecraft attitude dynamics and control and space systems engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor John Stark\u003c\/b\u003e joined QMUL as Professor of Aerospace Engineering in 1992. This followed previous appointments at UMIST as a lecturer (1980\/83), at Southampton in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (1983\/90) as a senior lecturer, and then an executive post at BAe Space Systems Ltd (1990\/92). He has served as Head of Department at QMUL from 1992 to 1999, and 2003 to date. He teaches courses in the principles of spacecraft engineering, spacecraft design and space mission engineering, and his areas of expertise include electrospray technology, spacecraft propulsion, spacecraft design and direct printing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Fortescue\u003c\/b\u003e retired as a Professor in the Astronautics Group, Department of Engineering Sciences at Southampton University in 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 728\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 x 9.78 x 6.87 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 19, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42723948691519,"sku":"9780470750124","price":133.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/3c7de5ec2930deb132c9c25d30312621.webp?v=1765100931","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/spacecraft-systems-engineering-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
